I seriously don't care how the bike gets returned to its working state.
I want a bike back: Driving a car is killing me, 40 miles takes 1 & 1/2 hours + and can you believe it cars have to PAY for parking...
A new loom, (Don't know what the deal with the tank is) Panniers, Hand guard, Cheek plate, Ignition (I have all the keys), Seat lock, Air box, Indicators, and Headlight surround and I am done.
With stolen bikes, insurance companies offer you a settlement which is never going to get a replacement bike, so you are either out of pocket, or buy a cheaper one and end up with other peoples issues. On a repair, its straight cut, they pay to fix.
Plus I retain my Tool tube with 1l fuel cannister, 2 finger levers, New TKC80 tyres, GPS mount, tool kit.
Discretely hiding a GPS tracker on my vehicles from now on.
What is interesting is that when you're faced with a stolen bike, you consider what to replace the bike with, honestly - its another Tenere
The alternatives were: Husaberg FE 449 or Tiger 800XC. one bike either side of the Tenere.
